The difference between netted melon and cantaloupe

1. Differences in fruit shape

The fruit of the netted melon is spherical, with a green vine on the top and gray or yellow stripes on the skin, which looks like a net, so it is called netted melon. The fruit of Hami melon is usually oblong, but can also be spherical. The skin is smooth with longitudinal grooves or spots, and some are yellow in color.

2. Difference in fruit color

The flesh of the netted melon is orange-red or yellow-green in color, crisp and sweet, and tastes similar to that of a fragrant pear. It is very delicious. The flesh of Hami melon is yellow, white or green, slightly lighter in color than the former, and has a sweeter taste.
